Will nose come down?

Question

I got a nose job 21 days ago and the tip of my nose seems really upturned. Will that come down? I have to go to school in 20 days and I'm scared it will stay like that

Juan Carlos Fuentes, MD · Answer

At this time you still have swelling on the nose, and you need to wait for 6 to 9 months to see almost the final result on your nose. In 20 days the nose  will still look upturned, it will not come down that son.

Thanks for your question. You should see some degree of improvement over the next 20 days, but swelling can take several months to a year to subside completely.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

hello, is very common after expected after rhinoplasty. I tell my patients that it usually takes about one year for it to fully subside, sometimes even a little longer! Taping your nose and putting your head elevated can help. Let's hope for the best but I doubt much will change in 20 days

Maurice P. Sherman, MD (retired) · Answer

It is extremely common that patients will feel that their tip is upturned too much after rhinoplasty. Indeed, we try to tape the tip in an upturned nature to support the tissue healing. We always see the tip come down to the level that was developed during surgery within 6 months, perhaps longer, as the nasal tissues relax during the healing process. We also ask our patients, in a good natured way, to avoid starring at their new nose for more than 2 hours daily, otherwise one can over think a slight nasal upturn into a significant possible problem and be stressed out needlessly.I hope you will be patient, but you should be able to get some assurances from your surgeon on this issue if needed.
